1980 SG. Stock wiring. Recently purchased. Am I right in assuming that the headlight will only illuminate after engine start? And it is permanently illuminated after that? (unlike XS650 where there is a separate ON/OFF switch)
 
(unlike XS650 where there is a separate ON/OFF switch)

Always-on headlights for motorcycles became mandatory in US in 1979. So, manufacturers ditched the switches.

An XS650 that has a switch will be made before 1979.
